The Lady Badgers (6-4) beat Kaufman, 11-8, Pilot Point, 10-0, and Mabank, 10-0, on Friday before falling to Georgetown, 12-2, in the championship game on Saturday.

Thursday's games were rained out.

Senior Vonzella Underwood doubled and drove in two runs, and Holloman and Shelby Wilson each recorded doubles.

In the win over Pilot Point, senior Kirby Crow recorded her first shutout of the year. Bogart doubled twice, tripled and drove in two runs.

Senior Taryn Brown hit an inside the-park home run and recorded two RBIs, and Underwood doubled and plated two.

In the win over Mabank, Holloman picked up the win. Bogart recorded three more doubles and drove in two runs.

Kirby Crow
